Today has been a real struggle for me. I am constantly battling mental strongholds, but today they got the best of me. I will keep asking God to help me become more like Him. I will keep working to transform my thoughts and actions, although it is no easy task, and sometimes I feel like I am running backwards.

Just one super list! I will never get up to the numbers you have reached. But it was great to read through your week. Sometimes Ijust don't know how you young moms do it. I loved 2271, Little boy clinging to to his mom. . .! Isn't that just what Moms ae for???? Hope everyone is feeling better by now!! Thanks again for such a great list. It was a blessing to have been here!

#2274 (remembering) will help with battling those mental/spiritual attacks. I preached on Psalm 106 last night. One thing that got the Israelites in trouble - they forgot God's provision, then they lost gratitude. Or, that could also work the other way - they weren't grateful, so they didn't see it as important to remember. Either way, they weren't able to handle the spiritual assaults, and they feel away individually and as the covenant community.

What a wonderful list! I love the one about little boys dancing to VeggieTales...my babies are huge fans of Bob and Larry, too. Oh, and the open spaces for little legs to run themselves out...excellent!!

I do have to say, though - and I hope you'll forgive me - this Buckeye just can't get on board with #2270 - that UK beat Ohio State!! ;-)

Love your list as always. I'm sorry you had a rough day on the 22nd, but thank goodness we have the gift of a new start each morning through His abundant grace.I love the picture of Sam and Braxton walking in the park. And Isaac's t-shirt looks great!
